My Life. My Views

What typically hit me about the blog was the lucidity with which the author has expressed her views on rape. Would like to quote one para from her blog

Rape is never, ever, ever, the victim’s fault. No matter where she is. No matter what she is wearing. No matter how drunk she is. No matter where she is walking. No matter what time it was. No matter who she has slept with. No matter how she is talking. No matter how she is acting. No matter her age. No matter if she has taken a self-defense class. No matter if she is a sex worker. No matter what race she is. No matter if she fought back or did not fight back. No matter if she screamed or not. No matter if she carried mace or not. No matter if she was on a date. No matter if she was sleeping in her bed. No matter if she left her window open. No matter if her door was unlocked. No matter if she is married to her rapist. No matter if she has slept with her rapist before. No matter. It is never, ever, EVER, the victim’s fault.

And I completely agree with what she has written! I think Rape should be an unpardonable offense… some thing for which even capital punishment is NOTHING!! And there is no damn thing in this world which can justify this crime!

i remember quite a few movies took up this issue in the past…but one movies in 80’s “zakhmi aurat” ….(main protagonist…dimple kapadia) stood out…..i think more thn the capital punishment it is the fear of punishment tht can prevent such occurence of ghory incidents….nd govt, should seriously think in lines of the solution provided in tht time ahead thought provoking movie…..to prevent the mishap…
me nt intending to comment on y such thing taks place nd whose fault is more ….bt i do believe tht any forceful action without consent is an offence against the modesty of the individual…nd shud be properly executed by the system…..
if v as individuals dnt raise up ths issue nd r nt the cause in bringing social revolution…our cuming generations r nt going to frgive us ….choice nd action is in our hands to nt let becum atleast our homeland …a jungle full of insenstive …insensible …species…

if she is to blame for her rape, then why call her a victim? why not call her a willing participant?

most women who are raped are raped by a man that they know. that makes the rape a terrible violation of trust – not the victim’s fault for “leading him on”.

blaming the victim for dressing in a way that shows her “nasty elements” – what exactly do you mean by that? That a woman’s body is nasty, dirty, disgusting? If so, why would a man want to put his P**** inside her body? Why would that dirty, nasty object (her body) create feelings of arousal? This indicates a complete self-hatred on the part of the rapist, in my opinion. the idea that men cannot control themselves is absolutely ridiculous. men do not run around acting on every impulse they have, sexual or otherwise.

revealing clothes are not an invitation for a man to rape a woman. women do not ask to be raped. it is the way men interpret what women do/say/wear that leads to rape. it is attitudes like yours that perpetuate rape and violence against women. you should be ashamed of yourself for contributing to rape.
